Synthetic Stock Positions
|
||||
Created by Puts and Calls
|
||||
It is possible for a strategist to establish a position that is essentially the same as a
|
||||
stock position, and he can do this using only options. The option position generally

||||
requires a smaller margin investment and may have other residual benefits over sim

||||
1. Buy call and sell put instead of buying stock.
|
||||
2. Buy put and sell call instead of selling stock short.

||||
Example: To verify that this option position acts much like a long stock position
|
||||
would, suppose that the following prices exist:
|
||||
XYZ common, 50;
|
||||
XYZ January 50 call, 5; and
|
||||
XYZ January 50 put, 4.

|
||||
alternative strategy of buying the January 50 call and selling (uncovered) the January
